CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This non-provisional application is a continuation-in-part applicationof U.S. Ser. No. 12/198,748, filed on Aug. 26, 2008, the entire contentsof which are hereby incorporated by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a cushioning packing cover bag, andmore particularly to a bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing coverbag.

BACKGROUND

Generally, when an article is packed, soft foam or Styron is provided asa cushioning protection for the article. However, foam and Styron causean environmental protection problem; they are not very ideal cushioningmaterials considering current attitudes to environmental protection. Inaddition, the article will be placed in a paper box directly after it ispacked using foam or Styron, so as to allow it to be transportedconveniently.

However, a purchaser is unable to see the article directly after it isplaced in the paper box; the contents thereof can only be judged from anarticle pattern printed on an outside of the paper box. This is quiteinconvenient, and can cause the purchaser to be unsatisfied with thearticle after opening the paper box owing to misjudgment of the color orsize of the article from the article pattern. Consequently, they willask for a purchase return or exchange, embarrassing the merchantconsiderably. Besides, an electronic device such as a cellular phone isprocessed with a sales promotion with a very low price to attract apurchaser to buy, owing to severe price competition. But if thepurchaser finds out the cellular phone he bought is secondhandmerchandise, or that the accessories packed inside the box have beenreplaced with sub-quality products after he opens the paper box, thisnot only always causes a quarrel between the merchant and the purchaserbut also harms the brand image of an electronic device (e.g. cellularphone) manufacturer.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To improve cushioning packing and outer box structure, strengthen anarticle's cushioning protection, enable an article to be seen through anouter box so as to allow a purchaser to view the color or size of thearticle directly, ensuring a airtight fit of the article by means of acushioning packing structure to prevent the article from being used orthe accessories from being replaced to avoid a consumption quarrel, andto improve the brand image of a product manufacturer, the presentinvention is proposed.

To achieve the objects mentioned above, the present invention proposes abendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag used for packingan article; it includes:

two vertically stacked outer films together forming a main body, themain body including

FIG. 3B is a partly crosssectional view, showing a bendable multi-sectional cushioning packingcover bag of the first embodiment according to the present invention.

The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag includes anair cylinder sheet 1 and a light reflection sheet 31.

The air cylinder sheet 1 is a sheet includes a plurality of aircylinders 10 a formed by adhering two sheets of outer film 2 a and 2 bby means of hot sealing after they are stacked together vertically, andcan be separated into a first air cylinder sheet 11 and a second aircylinder sheet 12 communicating with each other, in which the first aircylinder sheet 11 is constituted of a plurality of first cushioningsections 111 disposed in series , and the second air cylinder sheet 12is constituted of a plurality of second cushioning sections 121 disposedin series and one end thereof is connected to the first air cylindersheet 11.

Furthermore, the plurality of second cushioning sections 121 correspondsto the plurality of first cushioning sections 111. The sizes anddimensions of the plurality of second cushioning sections 121 may be thesame or different, and the size and dimension of each second cushioningsection 121 and the size and dimension of the first cushioning section111 corresponding thereto are the same, and three sides thereof arerespectively adhered to each other by means of hot sealing to form astorage space 10 b. If the sizes and the dimensions of the plurality ofsecond cushioning sections 121 are the same, the dimension of eachstorage space 10 b is the same; if the sizes and dimensions of theplurality of second cushioning sections 121 are different, the dimensionof each storage space 10 then matches the size and dimension of thesecond cushioning section 121 such that the dimensions of the pluralityof storage spaces 10 b are different thereby accepting differentarticles 9. The first air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylindersheet 12 can then be used to guard the articles 9 from impact as thefirst air cylinder sheet 11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12 arefilled with air and expanded.

The light reflection sheet 31 is attached onto one side face of thefirst air cylinder sheet 11 close to the second air cylinder sheet 12and used for reflecting light onto the article 9, in which the lightreflection sheet 31 may be made from a light reflecting material.

The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may furtherinclude an air filling passageway 13 and a continuous check valve 14, inwhich the air filling passageway 13 is positioned at one end of thefirst air cylinder sheet 11 and formed by two sticking lines 131 and132, the continuous check valve 14 is positioned with a plurality of airinlets 141 and air passageways 142 used for communicating the airfilling passageway 13 with the air cylinder sheet 11, air in the airfilling passageway 13 is filled into each air cylinder 10 a via the airinlet 141 and the air passageway 142 to enable the first cylinder sheet11 and the second air cylinder sheet 12 to be filled with air andexpanded. Moreover, the air filling passageway 13 may also be positionedat one end of the second air cylinder sheet 12; the continuous checkvalve 14 can then connect the air filling passageway 13 with the secondair cylinder sheet 12.

The continuous check valve 14 mentioned above may be formed by adheringtwo sheets of inner film 1 a and 1 b by means of hot sealing, in whichthe two sheets of inner film 1 a and 1 b is side-attached onto the outerfilm 2 a or 2 b. A heat resistant material 1 c is spread sequentially atintervals between the two sheets of inner film 1 a and 1 b, for example,by means of heat resistant resin or ink printing. The two sheets ofouter film 2 a and 2 b are still not adhered to each other to form airinlets even by means of hot sealing. When the air filling passageway 13is filled with air and expanded, the two sheets of outer film 2 a and 2b are pulled apart to open each air inlet 141 to allow air to enter eachair cylinder 10 a via each air passageway to cause each air cylinder 10a to be filled with air and expanded. Furthermore, two opposite sides ofthe two sheets of inner film 1 a and 1 b are aligned with twocorresponding sides of the two sheets of outer films 2 a and 2 b as FIG.3A shows, and the other two opposite sides of the two sheets of innerfilm 1 a and 1 b do not exceed the other two corresponding sides of thetwo sheets of outer film 2 a and 2 b, as FIG. 3B shows.

In addition, After the two sheets of outer film 2 a, 2 b are stackedtogether vertically, combination points 2 c in an air filling passageway13 are generated by means of hot sealing so as to adhere the outer film2 a to the inner film 1 a and the outer film 2 b to the inner film 1 b.After air entering the air filling entrance 13 a expands the airpassageway 13, the two sheets of outer film 2 a and 2 b are pulledoutward and in the meantime, the two sheets of inner film 1 a and 1 bare forced to extend outward through the combination points 2 c so as toopen the air inlet 141 to allow the air to enter the air cylinder 10 avia the air passageway 142.

After the air cylinder 10 a is filled with air and expanded, theinternal air pressure of the air cylinder 10 a compresses the two sheetsof inner film 1 a and 1 b to attach onto the outer film 2 a or 2 b (thetwo sheets of inner film 1 a and 1 b may also be not side-attached ontothe outer film 2 a or 2 b but may be hung in the air in the air cylinder10 a) after the air cylinder 10 a is filled with air and expanded tocover air passageway 142 to shield the air cylinder 10 a to prevent theair in the air cylinder 10 a leaking out to achieve an the airtighteffect.

The bendable multi-sectional cushioning packing cover bag may furtherinclude a color sheet 32 attached to a side face of the first aircylinder sheet 11 not attached to the light reflection sheet 31, wherethe color of the color sheet 32 may be changed depending on the article9, thereby increasing the visual effect. In addition, a plurality of hotsealing points 18 may also be positioned between the two firstcushioning sections 111, between the first cushioning section 111 andthe second cushioning section 121, and between the two second cushioningsections 121, to allow the plurality of first cushioning sections andthe plurality of second cushioning sections to be bent along theplurality of hot sealing points 18.

After the article 9 is placed in the storage space 10 b, each secondcushioning section 121 and the first cushioning section 111corresponding thereto are adhered to the opening of the storage space 10b by means of hot sealing, to cause the storage space 10 b to beshielded, thereby guarding the article 9 from impact. Furthermore,shielding the storage space 10 b by means of hot sealing can prevent theaccepted article 9 from being used or replaced, effectively avoidingconsumer quarrels and further elevating the brand image of the productmanufacturer. In addition, the articles 9 may be stacked together afterbeing packed according to the present invention, so as to allow a userto transport or store them conveniently.
